This article summarizes the results of the study on development and analysis of the typology of Russian regions according to criteria for the quality of human potential. Prior to this, ten clusters of this typology were studied separately, exceptions from the typical entry into clusters with neighboring regions were considered. Although among the qualitative characteristics of human potential there was not a single one, reflecting the territorial location of the regions, but in the typology they were distributed precisely on the basis of geography. Unobserved factors, whose effects on human potential are mediated by study-driven indicators, played a crucial role in clustering regions. Such a result naturally brought us to the works of L.N. Gumilev, which were studied in terms of the role played by geography of territories, landscapes and climate in the formation of human potential. In many ways, geographical conditions also determine the nature of economic activities, which form the abilities and skills of the population that characterize human potential. It was concluded that the typology of regions obtained on the characteristics of human potential corresponds to the composition of federal districts, with the exception of four small clusters, three of which — with a pronounced raw material specialization and one — with the financial advantages of two capital cities. Accordingly, this implies the expediency of using the administrations of federal districts to solve the problem of improving the quality of human potential. The protracted process of giving administrative status to federal districts can be completed by setting them the important social task of developing and implementing a strategy for improving the qualitative characteristic of population.

The article defines the directions that it is recommended to assess the role of the population in the formation of recreation and tourism activities (RTA). It is proved the need to investigate the role of the population in the RTA in two main directions: 1) as a subject of recreational and tourist systems in its relation to their media (objects); 2) combined - as a subject and component of the object of recreational and tourist systems. The population forms the flows of recreation and tourists, developing relevant structures and mechanisms for their recreational and tourist service, organizes directions and fields of economic and non-economic activities that ensure the recreational needs of the population, creates a specialized recreation infrastructure, develops and implements a variety of functional and territorial organization of recreation and tourism, forms at the national and international level of territorial division of labor. In order to evaluate the recreational potential of a separate plot or object usually consider not the entire nomenclature of conditions and resources, but only a characteristic or typical combination. Each territory, each object of recreation and tourism has its own set (complex) of resource characteristics. And this circumstance greatly facilitates the procedure for a comprehensive assessment of recreational potential due to elimination (allocation) of a characteristic complex of terms and resources of RTA. A similar situation arises for a functional assessment of recreational potential. The valuation of conditions and resources are not developed for a general list of species and forms of RTA, but for those that are distributed in this area in this locality. It is determined that among the numerous characteristics and indicators of recreational potential, the concept of recreational and tourist attractiveness is one of the objective indicators of resource potential. Estimation of recreational potential for quantitative indicators of recreation and tourists and their numerical and spatial distributions creates an objective basis for all other characteristics and indicators of RTD. Another important characteristic of the recreational potential, which forms the population as a factor of RTA is a recreation capacity of territories and objects of RTA. The concept of "recreational capacity" is related to "recreational attractiveness". Attractiveness characterizes recreational territories and objects for their attraction, according to real flows of recreation and tourists. Recreational capacity is intended to set the upper limits of such attractiveness. Attractiveness represents the actual use of a recreational resource, and the capacity indicates its critical level of recreation, which does not lead to degradation of this resource. In recreational geography, tourism and planning of territories, this direction is well known and extremely designed. The indicators of recreational capacities for certain types and recreation forms and recreations - beach baths, short-term rest in green zones, anthropogenic load of resort zones and areas of the natural reserve fund, maximum population density in various functional zones of the big city, etc. At the same time, the zonal principles of assessing the recreational capacity of objects and areas of recreation and tourism have not yet been developed, and this actual problem is waiting for its researchers. The population forms a so-called anthropogenic load on the territory, and its economic activity is man-made load. Anthropogenic-technogenic load is considered as a factor of recreational and tourist activities, in turn, indicators of anthropogenic-technogenic load are the original characteristics of "anti-resource" of recreation potential. The article has proven that in the context of the study of the prerequisites for the development of recreation and tourist activities of the region also need to analyze both the quality of life of the population, in addition to the assessment of this indicator have a high contrast and diversity in the country. Key words: population, recreational and tourist potential, attractiveness of recreational territories, anthropogenic-technogenic load, quality of life of the population.

Application of waste liquor at a rate of 25% that contains the used quinone and is applied as an additive has shown that qualitative characteristics of the obtained desired product do not differ from a product while using fresh quinone for pulping of cellulose-containing vegetable raw material. For this reason process of obtaining the desired product (cellulose or semicellulose) becomes economically cost-efficient on the basis of calculation and with due account of ecology. While analyzing investigation results pertaining to production of wood pulp from vegetable raw material (sprucewood) it is possible to point out the fact that qualitative characteristics of the desired product have been improved due to addition of quinone in the process of alkaline wood pulping (sulphate and sodic). A number of research publications have described a positive influence of additives on alkaline delignification of vegetable raw material. It subsequently improves the quality of the desired product: reduction of lignin content in the product; an output increase in cellulose and hemicellulose, α-cellulose in cellulose; upgrading of physical and mechanical indices. All the above-mentioned elements and components contribute to better quality of the manufactured packing products. In this case formation of hazardous sulfur-containing compounds is fully excluded.

According to the previously developed typology of Russian regions by the criteria of population quality, the regions were divided into ten groups. A detailed analysis of each group allows determining possible ways to improve the quality of the population in the Russian regions. This article begins to present the cycle of such studies with the analysis of three smallest groups: the first group includes Moscow and St. Petersburg, the second — the Republic of Dagestan, the Republic of Ingushetia, the Chechen Republic, the third — Nenets, Khanty-Mansi, Yamalo-Nenets autonomous okrugs and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The first group of regions is the most prosperous in terms of quality characteristics of the population, here the main problem is the low natural growth of the population. The specificity of the North Caucasus republics in this aspect lies in high indicators of population quality with low material living standards that contradicts the previously statistically confirmed hypothesis of strong impact of quality of life on population quality. The conclusion has been made about high importance of national culture and traditions in these regions. At the same time, comparison of these republics among themselves has shown that traditions in some of them are weakening, and more attention should be paid to economic factors — monetary income, poverty and unemployment rates. These problems in the North Caucasus regions are in line with the theory of multilevel economy, and their solution requires restructuring of the economy on the basis of its technological and technical re-equipment. In the third group, on the contrary, high monetary income is accompanied by poor qualitative characteristics of the population, especially by rates of alcoholism and drug addiction. These phenomena are correlated with the level of unemployment, the growth of which is caused not only by the global crisis processes in the development of the oil and gas sector, but also by the depletion of highly profitable deposits in the Northern regions of the country, the need to develop hard-to-reach and hardly removable sources of oil and gas. The solution may be to change the structure of the economy of these regions in the direction of development of the natural raw materials processing sector.

The problem of improving qualitative characteristics of population is relevant for all regions. Its solution assumes breaking the subjects of the Russian Federation into groups, similar in the values of quality of population, and in the degree of effectiveness of the factors affecting them. The main factor considered in the article is quality of life in terms of all its dimensions. The previous correlation analysis of the indicators of quality of life and quality of population made it possible to substantiate the choice of system of indicators for grouping Russian regions with the purpose of elaborating a strategy for improvement of the qualitative characteristics of population. There is revealed a strong impact of the economic indicators of quality of life on the quality of population: average monetary per capita income, poverty rate and unemployment rate. Along with the obvious connection between these indicators, their ratio in different Russian regions is various. Among all indicators of the quality of population, 4 indicators were selected for analysis: natural increase of population, life expectancy, education level, number of alcoholics and drug addicts. Cluster analysis on the set of seven above mentioned indicators resulted in development of regions' typology consisting of seven groups. Each cluster received informative interpretation. The obtained typology was compared with the typology of regions by indicators of quality of population and the typology by indicators of quality of life. Their common features and differences were identified. Inclusion in consideration of territorial factor, which was presented in the article by the share of urban population in regions, did not confirm the hypothesis of its significant impact on the quality of population. On the basis of all the obtained results and their substantive analysis the authors propose a typology of regions which can be used for development of strategies for improvement of the qualitative characteristics of population with the account of the specifics of each regional cluster.

Housing conditions and the possibility to improve them are one of the main indicators of the standard of living of the country’s population. State methods of regulation in this sphere must contribute to minimize the risks of citizens and ensure their safe investment in the purchase of housing under construction. For these purposes the mechanism of project financing — the system of financing the construction of apartment buildings through escrow accounts was developed and introduced.The subject of the article is an analysis of the introduction of escrow accounts in relation to Russian regions. The statistics presented by the financial development institution in the housing sector Dom.rf allows to detect a positive dynamics of citizens’ trust in development companies, which finally is reflected in a significant improvement of the quality of life of Russians. Thus, with the growth of citizens’ trust in contractors — developers of apartment buildings, their interest in buying better quality housing grows. Besides, the mechanisms of project financing weed out unfair builders, leaving only reliable developers on the market, which raises the qualitative characteristics of new projects and gives extra stability to the market.

The article focuses on the issue of relation of general and social intelligence and illustrates it by the results of correlational study of adolescents’ intelligence and quality of their social argumentation. It was revealed that it is verbal intelligence, not a non-verbal one, that forms correlations with argumentation qualities. These correlations could be productive as well as counter-productive with respect to the quality of social discussion. The obtained results are considered within the context of discussion about general and social intelligence balance with the focus on the functional role of verbal intelligence in social cognition. They are regarded as the starting points for the development of social competence educational programs for adolescents

Peatlands, with their important role, are in need of great attention, both from the government and also environmentalists. The role of corporations is really needed and is expected to be able to accelerate the improvement of the quality of peatlands, so that the benefits are maintained. Issuance of Green Bond is expected to be able to encourage the achievement of this goal. It is hoped that companies operating in and around the Peatland area will be able to create sustainable Peatland development efforts. The synergy between companies and green investors is expected to be an aspect of improving the economy, both for companies, investors and the public. Companies as publishers have an increasingly large role in maintaining the balance of peatlands. Benefits in the form of incentives from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) will also be obtained by companies that issue green bonds. Investors, especially green investors who are interested in environmental issues will have new investment alternatives. The emergence of a development program initiated by the company, of course, will also have an impact on society, in the form of the withdrawal of a number of workers, as well as the increase in other economic activities as a result of the increase in the standard of living of the community. Keywords: Green Bond, Peatland

The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World program for sustainable development presents a transformative vision, recognizing that our planet is changing, bringing with it new challenges that must be overcome if we want to live in a world without hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition, in any of its forms. At the same time, there is a direct relationship between the quality of food and health. The production of high-quality food in high quantities is an emerging concern. However, the challenges are enormous, as demonstrated by the following: i) there is a demand for food production, occurring amid a declining rural labor force; ii) there is an increasing amount of raw material production (e.g., biomass generated) for a market that has been only mildly explored; iii) there is a lack of simpler and cheaper analytical alternatives to apply in undeveloped countries, whose developments is highly dependent of agriculture; and iv) there is the necessity to adopt more efficient and sustainable production methods that are adapted to climate change. On almost all these fronts, the field of analytical chemistry has a lot to contribute.
